I'm good at doing that.

At least it's not type -> preview -> type -> preview -> erase -> type -> preview -> erase -> preview -> preview -> preview -> type -> preview -> back -> back -> back -> back -> back -> type -> preview -> index or somewhere else

the preview reply button should be changed to another submit

I used to wonder this too... before here, I only managed 1066 across a year and a half on I2.

...I don't know what's changed since then.

It wouldn't do me any good, my unsubmitted posts don't even make it to the "preview" stage.

I'm sometimes like that, actually... but it's "back" or "main" instead of "close window" =/

Haven't done it as much anymore (intentionally), but I still do it on accident sometimes...

This is how I roll. I seem to be one of the few who observes the "think before doing" rule in life.

I'll be sitting there, typing up a response, and then read it over. If it doesn't contribute greatly to a conversation or discuss the topic at hand, I won't bother posting it.

I rarely use Preview, usually only if I'm throwing some funky formatting in or something.

phpBBs throw me off with Preview being to the left of Submit.

Yes, same here... I do try to read over my posts for obvious errors and what-not, but I usually don't bother to use the preview button. And it's usually while reading them over I decide not to post them.

I think Preview used to corrupt the posts here... I think it has already been fixed though.

This is why I now use Preview frequently to check my posts if I use any HTML or stuff.

Hey, maybe it would work to increase activity, who knows.

I always use preview so I can read whatever crap I am trying to filter off better... I should actually try posting without checking it. One day.

Me, I tend to not notice typos until after something's posted, then I go back and edit.

I probably never really used Preview because it was another lengthy page load for every post on dialup.

I tend to use Preview only if I'm going to add tables, etc. to a post... not really to check for typos or anything. =)

Then again, it's very rare that I use that kind of formatting anyway, so I can basically say I never use it =P

I've cancelled a lot of posts mainly because I either thought "boy, this looks stupid" or because I really didn't feel I could contribute to the conversation. Preview's usually if it's a complex post or if I want to make sure any tags were put in correctly.

I like to re-edit my posts after posting them, mostly because I often leave out chunks of information. Such pieces, if allowed to remain missing, may cause misunderstandings. It is an upgrade compared to back when I did nothing about those and just confused people instead.

I remember how much editing a post multiple times would always make it look stupid, because if updates were frequently made, every one of them were noted on the bottom of the post.

I always left silly messages if I did edits on boards that displayed those. Some people figured I'd fake an edit just to do that as post-script.
